I have a lot of merino wool stuff to clean so does anyone have any advice on suirfactants that shouldnt be used on merino wool stuff other than enzymes and bleaching agents?
Thanks to anyone that helps.
It’s because people don’t do “whites” anymore.
Run a load of white clothing and use bleach and hot water
Put clothes in dryer
Wipe the inside of the washer, takes 10 seconds
You have now cleaned a washing machine…
You can skip #3 and save 10 seconds, the hot bleach water will kill whatever is making that smell. But depending on how bad it is, you may want to do that a couple days in a row. Don’t do a normal load after, let it sit for a while.
The stuff that smells bad is stuff growing where water sits, so you want that bleach water to sit there and not be flushed out. One cycle will probably do it tho if it sits long enough.
Make sure your “white” are only white with no colors, texts and other designs you want to protect, before using bleach, it will damage them.
Ah. Thanks for reminding me . Im not even joking I myself dont do whites anynore simply to save money on bleach. ALL my white everything has been donated.
